Bye Bye Blues (© Lown & Saunders)

Randy Kewen - vocals and guitars - recorded June 2006

This recording is all yours truly also, but while I'm learning to mix digitally. If I knew how I would fix the vocals at least. This is the one for chuckles.

Here are the first four six seven eight songs posted on my site. I'm just getting into digital audio processing and working with some of my old analog tapes seems a good place to start. Except for Bye Bye Blues which is done completely under the new (to me) digital regime, these are all from old analog tapes (studio & live, reel to reel and cassette) that have been converted to digital format. In the interest of conserving space and bandwidth I am sometimes using a low (64kbps) bitrate for these tracks. If you have any comments or advice let me know via one of the methods on the contact page.
